Celebrating Being an ‘Elderlie’

SKMB’s Director of Ministry was the guest speaker at the seniors autumn lunch at Forest Grove Community Church. About 100 attendees came together to share lunch, sing hymns and hear from a special guest vocalist and speaker. The atmosphere was certainly celebratory and inspiring.

Rev. Gunther’s address was titled There’s More To You, with the emphasis:  Your limitations and ailments do not define you. Gunther started with a quiz and prizes before sharing both ‘senior’ humour and personal stories about caring for seniors. The following are some key highlights from his address:

“Friends, here is the wonderful truth I want you to hear today: What aging takes from you can never diminish who you are in Christ.”
“I invite you to claim as your own this declaration: My aging, my losses, ailments, and limitations will never define me! These things may shape how I go about life, but they will never be the currency of my value.”
